MenuWhat makes a travel website so unique when it comes to comparing hotel prices?
I hope my question is not miss leading in anyway. I have a travel website and have joined couple big brands as an affiliate instead of competing. I've been struggling with it for the past 90-days on driving traffic through Facebook Ads. I'm wondering if it's a brand/trust issue.

You are entering a space with a few VERY big names that people go to without even thinking much about it (Agoda is partnered and integrated across many channels, for example, as well as being highly optimized for Google).
Talking business strategy would be a separate matter, but to answer your question as someone who has traveled EXTENSIVELY and lived in many different countries, the two biggest factors for me is price (many of these large competitors of yours have partnership deals with properties around the world, and so can offer discounts - when I worked in hospitality years ago, there were always locked in discounts for anyone who booked through Orbitz, for example), and thoroughness (searching across as many potential properties as possible).
You also have to consider that Airbnb is a HUGE competitor these days (they like to position themselves as a partner in the hospitality space, but let's face it, speaking for myself, I stopped using hotels since Airbnb came around many years ago).

How do I validate an idea in my marketplace for the industry?
Several ways come to mind. Formulate your idea into one (or better all) of the following + you'll know by interest level if you have a winner. 1) My favorite. Start a Meetup Group (set the zipcode of group) to match the zipcode of a US city where most people originate travel to your target destination. For example, If your targeting running tours in Chang Mai Thailand, research what city people in US most travel from to visit Chang Mai. Then run Meetup events related to Thai Travel topics. 2) Package information about Thai Travel into a PDF + sell it via Facebook Ads. 3) Start a Kickstarter project. 4) Speak at existing Travel Meetups + other groups + related conferences about your idea.DF

Launch first startup full-time at 20 years old? Or do an exchange in Australia? Very conflicted so any advice is greatly appreciated.
Does your startup absolutely require that you be in Toronto? Why not do both? Take the opportunity of the exchange and start working on your startup on the side (and be ready to get into it in full force when the exchange is finished). I started a company when I was 18 and was traveling the world before I turned 21. I still travel now whenever I feel like, and it has not negatively impacted me in business. In fact, I think it has had a very positive effect as I've learned countless things about people and global markets. Happy to discuss more over a call if you'd like.BM

How can we generate more leads and better market our travel startup?
Dirt simple approach, I've used with several of my Travel Agent clients. 1) Determine your most lucrative destination (highest commissions for you). Say... Germany... 2) Determine starting point of most people visiting your destination. Say... Auckland New Zealand... 3) Run a Facebook Ad campaign targeting Auckland residents + pixel people clicking on your Ads, so your Ads stalk them. Simple. Cheap. Effective.DF
